Hello. I'm alive again. Glad to be here. I missed you too.

tag:worrydream.com,2011-05-17:bretsite_interactiveExplorationOfADynamicalSystem2011-05-17T12:27:01+04:00

A user interface for exploring systems of differential equations. Every variable is shown as a plot; every parameter has a knob that can be adjusted in realtime. This ubiquitous visualization and in-context-manipulation helps the user develop a sense for how the parameters of the system influence its behavior.

This page presents a scientific paper that has been redesigned as a sequence of illustrations with captions. This comic-like format, with tightly-coupled pictures and prose, allows the author to depict and describe simultaneously -- show and tell.

tag:scrubbingcalculator,2011-05-31:/201105311628473582011-05-31T12:28:47+04:00

This page presents an idea for exploring practical algebraic problems without using symbolic variables. I call this tool a "scrubbing calculator", because you solve problems by interactively scrubbing over numbers until you're happy with the results.

Alpha release of Tangle, a JavaScript library for creating reactive documents. Readers can interactively explore possibilities, play with parameters, and see the document update immediately. Make your own explorable explanations! Then give feedback, contribute, and get involved.

This page presents a brief critique and simple redesign of a recent New York Times interactive graphic. The redesign emphasizes showing and comparing the data, and exploring the data through simple, powerful interactions.

How can we design systems when we don't know what we're doing? This interactive essay presents the "ladder of abstraction", a technique for using visualization in a systematic way to design and understand systems.

People are alive -- they behave and respond. Creations within the computer can also live, behave, and respond... if they are allowed to. The message of this talk is that computer-based art tools should embrace both forms of life -- artists behaving through real-time performance, and art behaving through real-time simulation. Everything we draw should be alive by default.

This talk presents a tool for creating data-driven visualizations, like D3, but via direct manipulation of the picture itself, like Illustrator.
